Even riding the wave of that success wasn’t enough to propel the Steelers past Baltimore at home in the wild card round of the playoffs, as Pittsburgh faltered, 30-17. While the season may have ended prematurely, there were plenty of positive signs from the year, including the emergence of Le’Veon Bell as one of the game’s best backs and Antonio Brown’s continual dominance of every defense in the NFL. Here’s the best and worst of the Steelers 2014 season:MVP: Le’Veon BellWith all due respect to Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown, the difference between the Steelers being 807 Feb 2015 12:42:58 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/pittsburgh_steelers_2014_superlatives_awards_and_recognition/18233021

Pittsburgh, coming off a 27-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans, is 7-4 on the season. They have had some monstrous wins and some terrible losses. Pittsburgh has beaten teams like the Indianapolis Colts and the Baltimore Ravens by scoring 51 points.
However, they have lost to teams like the 2-8 New York Jests and the 2-9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Also, they have had close performances against lowly teams like Tennessee and the Jacksonville Jaguars. New Orleans comes to town at 4-6, but is 3rd in the NFL with 299.8 passing yards per game. Although this game is crucial for Pittsburgh, the $54.00 get-in price for this game is the lowest of the season at Heinz Field.
The average price for Steelers tickets this season is $194.26 on the secondary market. The average ticket price for this Sunday’s game is $197.79, which represents a 5% decrease from this time last week.

Going into the second quarter of the season, it’s now time for the Steelers to either improve or carve out another 8-8 campaign. There have been a myriad of reasons for the inconsistency of this particular Steelers team. Here are five players, or groups of players, who have had the most disappointing first quarter of the 2014 season.
Cortez Allen
It seems like forever ago that Cortez Allen seemed to breakout for a few game stretch to end his second season. It looked like the Steelers had finally found the heir apparent to Ike Taylor as their number one corner for the future. Fast forward to 2014 and Allen is more known for being flagged and being burned by opposing receivers. Forget that Allen has the Steelers only interception on the year. That was a gift given to him by Mike Evans getting hurt mid-route and the only good think he did on the pl...02 Oct 2014 19:56:20 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/article_external/5_of_the_most_disappointing_players_so_far_this_season_for_the_steelers/17412437

Watching that game, you got the sense that the Steelers had a week and a half to stew on the previous game where they got whooped in every aspect of the game, and they came out ready to smack somebody in the mouth.
One week later, the Steelers are in a much different place mentally. They just kicked the snot out of a legit team on national television on the road, and come home to play an 0-3 team.
The Bucs just got whooped on Thursday night by a division rival and have had a week and a half to stew on being embarrassed. Sound familiar?
Let me also point out that the Buccaneers are getting Doug Martin, Logan Mankins, Gerald McCoy, and Michael Johnson back on the field this week, while the Steelers will be without Ike Taylor, Ryan Shazier, and Jarvis Jones.
I also think that Glennon playing may be better for Tampa than McCown. Glennon isn’t a great talent but can t...25 Sep 2014 08:55:37 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/the_steelers_cant_sleep_on_tampa_bay/17357567

The Buccaneers were blown out in Atlanta last week 56-14. A similar thing should happen this week in Pittsburgh right? Not necessarily. Teams are 45-24 ATS since 2002 coming off of 35+ point losses. Teams tend to be undervalued, overlooked, and embarrassed in that situation and the Buccaneers should be all three this week as a result of last week. It’s also really hard to get blown out in back-to-back weeks. The Buccaneers aren’t as bad as they looked last week. They’re not good, but they don’t deserve to be 7.5 point underdogs here in Pittsburgh so I’m going to fade the public and the overreaction and go with the Buccaneers and the aforementioned trend.
The Buccaneers will have had 10 days to get right before this game, which should help them a lot. Michael Johnson and Gerald McCoy, two of their best defensive players, return to a defensive line that needs them badly. Running back Doug Martin is also expected to return.

Mike Tomlin press conference will be held at Noon ET.
-Former linebacker James Harrison is visiting with team today and I expect he will sign. Why else would they bring him in if they are’t going to sign him? My thoughts on his return are right here.
-Here’s the latest on the injury front; Jarvis Jones will undergo surgery for his dislocated wrist. He was put on IR-designated to return and is expected to miss eight weeks… Ike Taylor has a broken forearm but could miss just six weeks… Ryan Shazier has an MCL sprain and will miss this week’s game but could return for the next.
-The Steelers are now 5-1 all-time against Carolina.
-Mike Tomlin by the numbers… He is now 31-27 on the road lifetime as the HC of the Steelers. His record when leading at halftime improved to 55-9.
-The Steelers are 52-6 when Ben Roethlisberger has a passer rating of 100 or better.

Though he missed three games due to injury, he made up for his absence with a stellar rookie campaign where he finished the year with 1,529 all purpose yards and 8 rushing touchdowns.
If Le’Veon continues to have the success displayed in the 2013 season, he could very well be the long-term feature back that the Steelers have been searching for since the retirement of Jerome Bettis. It was of the utmost concern they find him a supporting cast member for the upcoming 2014 season after losing Jonathan Dwyer and Felix Jones in free agency.
2013 showed us many teams around the league, such as the New England Patriots, Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, were left without definite answers at the running back position when their starting players were injured; often having to scrounge and rotate players frequently to find some sort of stability.

Here’s a running list of reports from Monday regarding prospects visits, workouts and rumors:
NFL.com’s Gil Brandt believes that Buffalo OLB Khalil Mack “gets picked ahead” of Jadeveon Clowney.
LSU WR Jarvis Landry said he felt most comfortable during his meetings with the Jets, Falcons and Colts. (Rand Getlin)
Patriots personnel director Nick Caserio said they will consider drafting a receiver at No. 29 overall, despite adding receives last year. (Jeff Howe)
Nebraska CB Stanley John-Baptiste could move into the first-round. (Mike Mayock)
Pittsburgh QB Tom Savage is the only quarterback to visit with the Bengals, although they either met with or worked out Logan Thomas (Virginia Tech), Zach Mettenberger (LSU) and A.J. McCarron (Alabama). (Albert Breer)
The Ravens met Pittsburgh QB Tom Savage during the pre-draft process, but has yet to visit or workout for the team. (Aaron Wilson)

Bringing Wilfork back for the 2014 season should have refocused the Patriots’ search to finding a defensive tackle that can rush the quarterback in the 2014 NFL draft, however. The Patriots have the personnel to align their defense in a 3-4 or 4-3, so finding a player that can play five-technique defensive end and three-technique defensive tackle would be the perfect fit.
The Patriots have Tommy Kelly, Armond Armstead and Chris Jones at that position now, but none of those players are guarantees to produce in 2014. Kelly is recovering from a torn ACL and Armstead hasn’t seen an NFL field yet. The Patriots haven’t used a first-round pick on a defensive tackle since 2004 when they drafted Wilfork.
Check out which defensive lineman the Patriots could draft at No. 29 overall in NESN.com’s latest mock draft.

And with that honorable title, the team everyone expected to be contending for the playoffs and a Super Bowl berth is the first team in the NFL to notch 10 losses on the season.For some reason, I do not see this as an honor that will make Gary Kubiak feel much better now that he has returned to the sidelines to coach. Such a dubious distinction could set the Texans head coach back a few weeks in the recovery plan.Now, if the NFL Draft had been held this week, Houston would have a few decisions to make. Keep the pick. Trade the pick. Take a quarterback with the pick. Take a defensive lineman with the pick. Reach for a tackle with the pick. Look to trade down and take a shot at Johnny Manziel?Things look bleak for this team, but with Jacksonville on the road Thursday night, a win could put them back on solid foo...02 Dec 2013 23:50:28 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/2014_nfl_draft_changing_teams_changing_players/15211913
